We’ve Got Mini Cooper Touch Up Paint

Mini, as the name suggests is a brand of small British cars. This iconic car of the 60s was originally built by the British Motor Corporation starting in the year 1959. It was an instant success because of its modest exterior size but spacious interior. The front engine allowed for all the back of the car to make room for the passengers and their carry-on. You could say that the Mini is the British equivalent of the German Beetle.

While the Mini Cooper and the Mini Cooper S were sportier versions on the Mini, they carried enough power to win many rallies eminently four times the Monte Carlos Rally. The power came from very precise elements of the design, the unibody which made the car lighter and the front wheel drive. The Mini model Cooper and Cooper S all featured accessories that the other models offered as options. Those options comprised many modern features that are now considered mandatory like seat belts, door mirrors, radio and heaters.

Throughout the 80s and 90s, the Mini strayed from mass-production to launch a series of limited edition cars. This change made the car more of a fashion accessory than an everyday passenger car. This shift in the brand’s image is what prompted BMW to buy the brand through the purchase of the Rover Group. Also, it’s at that time that most of the production was exported to Japan where the car proved popular as a retro icon.

The Mini were also featured in 1969’s movie, and its 2003 remake, The Italian Job as an important part of the movie. The car was used in an intricate car chase through the Italian subway tunnels. We bet that they would have loved to have TouchUpDirect’s color matching touch up pen on hand during the shoot.
